September Empties / Products I've Used Up

It's that time again, and in the interest of spicing things up, I filmed an empties video this month. I'll also run through everything in writing below, if you prefer to read versus watch.

Kinky Curly Spiral Spritz [Review]This was my second bottle of this and I'm already onto my third. It's a good, light hold, aloe-based hair gel.Repurchase? Yes, I already have.Rahua Voluminous Spray [Review]I have mixed feelings about this one. Some days I liked how it made my hair look and others I didn't feel like it did anything at all. Plus, it leaves your hair very tangly.Repurchase? No.Devita Gentle Aloe Face Scrub [Review]Very gentle, as the name suggests, but also pretty effective. Super affordable too! Repurchase? Not right away.Graydon Face Food Mineral Mist* [Review]Graydon is a great line and I liked this mist well enough, but I notice the biggest difference on days when my skin is acting up. When my skin is behaving, I can take it or leave it.Repurchase? Not sure.Shea Terra Argan Oil + Acacia Honey Facial Wash* [Review]One of my favorite cleansers. It's a blend of honey and a gentle castile soap that leaves your face really clean, but not stripped or dry. Repurchase? Yes, but not immediately.Nourish Organics Spiced Citrus Body WashYou guys know I love these body washes. The Spiced Citrus scent could have been spicier - it smells like orange candy to me - but I still enjoyed it. Repurchase? Yes.Nourish Organics Fresh Fig DeodorantIf I want this to last all day, I need to combine it with another deodorant, but I'm still a big fan. The formula is gentle enough to use right after shaving and the fig scent is fruity and lovely.Repurchase? Yes.Sibu Beauty Clarifying Toner (sample)Not a hit. It left my skin feeling dry and I didn't like the scent. Repurchase? No.Ikove Organics Acai Chocolate Radiance Moisturizing Cream (sample)The sample was separated and I wasn't impressed. Hopefully full size jars can stay better emulsified!Repurchase? No.Kaia Bamboo Tapioca Beads* (sample) [Review]I really enjoyed using this dry, powdered exfoliant. It's easy to customize just by switching up what you liquid you mix it with, and it does a great job.Repurchase? It's quite likely.MUN Brightening Youth Serum (sample)Despite the accolades, I wasn't blown away. It was fine, but not revolutionary enough to convince me to splurge on a full size bottle.Repurchase? No.

It's always so hard to say if something is worth the money! It's a nice serum, but it just didn't blow me away enough to spend that kind of $$ on it! Love to know what you think once you've had the chance to try it :)
